Another Christmas Card!!!!

 Hi

Well, it's December tomorrow, Christmas is not far away and I've done no shopping - do you think I need to panic ?!!!

I have found the time to make another Christmas card though:



It fits into the following six challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenges - Red & Green
Stamp With Fun - Xmas
Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential - Hats On
The Pink Elephant - Favourite Colouring Medium
The Corrosive Challenge Blog - Red & Green
Magnolia Down Under Challenge - Christmas Decoration / card

I used this beautiful Magnolia stamp, which I bought when I visited the NEC a few weeks back.  I stamped her using black Memento Ink and coloured her using my Copics, which are my most favourite colouring medium by far!!!  I then used some Distress Ink to soften the harsh white background slightly.




Recipe:

Stamp: Magnolia Tilda with Gift
Ink: Black Memento Ink Pad.  "Old Paper" Ranger Distress Ink
Colouring Medium: Copic Ciao & Sketch Markers
Papers: Red Gingham Paper - Cuddly Buddly.  Parcel Paper - Magnolia.  Tree Paper - Basic Grey.  Red & green card from my stash
Tools: Large circle & large scalloped circle Nesties.  Ellison Big Shot
Embellishments: Poinsettias from The Hobby House.  Red ribbons from my stash.



Thanks for stopping by today.
Hope you like it.

Mr Snowman


Hi

This simple Christmas Card fits three challenges :

Creative Card Crew - Favourite Things
Everybody Art Challenge - Christmas
Papertake Weekly - Christmas Crackers

Here's my card:



I've used this fabulous snowman, stamping him with Brilliance Ink in Meditteranean Blue and just using a little water to soften the lines in places.  I then ran this through my Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder.



The snowflake is cut using Spellbinders Create a Flake  - this is my favourite die at the moment and I love using Twinklets Glass Glitter on it to give it a real frosty feel. 
The spotty paper is by Bo Bunny.



Thanks for stopping by today.

The colours this week were chosen by Beth and are:



There's a great prize on offer too,  Kimmie is very generously offering up 2 stamps of your choice from her fantabulous Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp range
